Hi Chrome Prince, I follow a system based on a fairly high Win% base, and it takes a heck of a lot of losing runs to eliminate a horse that's won say 6 out of it's first seven. As you say, most don't go on with it. That's my experience too. Get rid of them straight away and you're saving yourself a lot of "under priced" losing bets. Also get rid of them from the database that you're using to analyse your system because having Black Caviar and Sepoy in there will give you a great strike rate, and show a lot of promise ..... but there's no sense to it.
